[nagdu] New job, Cagney can't be with me

[Laurel Wheeler]

As far as I am concerned, that's illegal for your boss to do that. He's basically denying you the use of your service dog. You need to speak with his boss and ask for help. Explain that you need your guide dog to get around, and that it's a matter of your independence. Surely they could get somebody to come cover your job for you for 5 minutes wihle you take your girl out. Please let us know what happens, I'd just ask others for help since you need her.
